 Seems like a lot of trouble to go to. I think it's simpler than that.

 The post_status should be set to "future", but the cron job that is
 scheduled should a parameter indicating the private status of the post.
 The publish_future_post hook will pass this along to whatever function is
 publishing it, and then the post will get changed to private, along with
 all the future_to_private hooks getting run and such.

 Posts are published by the cron job. That's what future means. If we have
 the job itself send along how to publish the post, then it will take care
 of it for you.
